I have been asked for this in comments from reviewers on grants or applications but not as much on papers.

Am probably late to this conversation but question: does changing the #vaccine schedule eventually translate into lack of coverage by #insurance for those? Seems like the current answer is "No" but this feels like something to watch closely over time.

Oh yeah, doubly justified really messes with the reading pace.

To clarify - versus in the middle of the document or in separate files?

Oof. As someone with a cat allergy, I really suffer when exposed to cats - super sensitive. As a pet lover and former dog owner, I know how hard this is. We didn't rehome either - replaced carpet, kept dog away, etc. But after he passed away, all symptoms were gone. Happy to chat if helpful

We did that indaughter's bedroom when her allergies and asthma got worse. I hate to ask this because it was hard for us - but do you have pets? Our daughter ended up developing a dog allergy (we had a dog since before her birth) Tested her early and was negative, but later she developed an allergy.

I guess the gift is getting it over with all in one go. But that's a bummer. Sorry.๐Ÿ˜”

Slowly disappear stuffies one at a time - and potentially could hold on to a small number that can withstand a lot of washing and high temperature drying.

Helps if the mattress covers completely encase the mattress (not just a cover like a fitted sheet, but cover the whole thing and zip completely shut). Those, plus covers for blanket, pillows, and mattress, ditching carpet (particularly in bedroom) and air filters made a huge different.

Manuscript and grant reviewers in biomedical sciences: Do you have any major pet peeves when it comes to formatting of papers or grants that you're reviewing? Anything else not format-related? I'm putting together some recommendations for trainees in our #epidemiology program. Thanks!

Please include confidence intervals with your relative risks (risk ratios, odds ratios, hazard ratios, etc) and not just the RR and a p-value. Bonus points for other measures too, but need to see how wide those intervals are not just whether they are significant. #postconferencefeedback

And like that a 1-yr sabbatical comes to an end. Enjoying the day with family and getting ready for the new challenges. What an odd time to have been offline in public health and what a critical time to be ready and rested to get back to it. Wish me luck!

US to rewrite its past national climate reports US President Donald Trump's administration is revising past editions of the nation's premier climate report -- its latest move to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

Boar's Head plans to reopen troubled deli meat plant, but reports of sanitation problems persist The Boar's Head deli meat plant at the heart of a deadly food poisoning outbreak is set to reopen in the coming months.

Much of the regulations at USDA have been removed; consume anything at your own risk.
